{"abstract":"The Department of Energy (DOE) proposes to amend its Privacy Act regulations by adding a system of records to the list of systems exempted from certain subsections of the Act. Exemption from certain subsections is needed to enable the Office of Inspector General (OIG) to perform its duties and responsibilities. The new system of records will be entitled ``Allegation-Based Inspections Files of the Office of Inspector General,'' and will allow the Office of Inspector General to perform its functions mandated by statute, regulation or executive order. The system will maintain documents collected in the process of conducting inspections. An Office of Inspector General inspection is an examination of DOE or DOE contractor organizations, programs, projects, functions, or activities. The proposed system of records will cover only the files of inspections predicated on allegations or complaints and which identify subjects and sources of information by name. Inspections performed relate to sensitive allegations of wrongdoing received concerning certain individuals, including agency and DOE contractor employees, or other persons or entities with some relationship to the agency. Allegations include, but are not limited to, abuse of authority; misuse of government time, property, or position; conflicts of interest, or other non-criminal violations of law, rules, or regulations.","action":"Notice of proposed rulemaking.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY","name":"Energy Department","id":136,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/energy-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/136.json","parent_id":null,"slug":"energy-department"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/1997/01/29/97-2178.html","cfr_references":[{"title":10,"part":1008,"chapter":null,"citation_url":null}],"citation":"62 FR 4404","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"1997-03-31","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Written comments should be submitted on or before March 31, 1997.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":[],"document_number":"97-2178","effective_on":null,"end_page":4407,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":null,"html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1997/01/29/97-2178/privacy-act-of-1974-records-maintained-on-individuals","images":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/97-2178.json","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-1997-01-29/97-2178/mods.xml","page_length":4,"page_views":{"count":0,"last_updated":"2018-12-19 04:15:19 -0500"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1997-01-29/pdf/97-2178.pdf","proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"1997-01-29","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/1997/01/29/97-2178.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"1901-AA62":{"xml_url":"http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=199710&RIN=1901-AA62&operation=OPERATION_EXPORT_XML","issue":"199710","title":"Privacy Act--Exemption of an Inspector General System of Records","priority_category":"Info./Admin./Other","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/1901-AA62/privacy-act-exemption-of-an-inspector-general-system-of-records"}},"regulation_id_numbers":["1901-AA62"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":false,"signing_date":null,"start_page":4404,"subtype":null,"title":"Privacy Act of 1974; Records Maintained on Individuals","toc_doc":null,"toc_subject":null,"topics":[],"type":"Proposed Rule","volume":62}
